A ROYAL Slip.

Copenhagen Special: A gentleman pres.
cnt at a court ball at the royal palace
thus describes a sensational accident that
happened to King Christian:
After supper t he father of the princess oil
Wales and the czarina danced a cotilliOn,
choosing for his partner Miss Estrup,
daughter Of his prime minister. A
portion OF the floor near the queen =
throne had been so waxed and polished as
to make it slippery as a sheet OF ice. Five
couples, including the king and Miss
Estrup, were Waiting near the slippery
spot when two couples slipped, fell and
rolled on the floor. Almost ut the same
instant the kings foot slipped and his
majesty fell on his back at full length,
bringing down with him Miss Estrup,
whose neck was slightly cut by one
of the kings decorations. In the fall
the back OF the kings head struck the
corner OF one OF the steps of the queens
throne with a report like that OF a popgun.
There was at once CONSERVATION most ap.
palling; the music ceased and the king,
stunned, remained motionless. Every.
body thought he was killed. Ladies
screamed, and Miss Estrup tainted away.
The king was the first to recover his
presence OF mind. Bleeding from tbs
back OF his head and pale as q
sheet, he tried to rise to his feet, but fell
DaCk again On Cne MOOR LauleS OF nOnOl
placed wet handkerchiefs to his maiesty's
forehead and placed smelling salts beneath
his nose. In Il few minutes he was assisted
to his feet. He at once made q sign to the
orchestra to resume the music and desired
the dancing to recommence. He himself
made a tour of the ball room with Miss
Estrup on his arm, doing his best to tran
quilize her, but shortly afterward the en- tire
court lett the ball room, and everybody
went home. The next day the queen was
attacked with nervous trembling result
OF the excitement OF the previous evening
and the king was obliged to remain in his
room two days. This, perhaps, is the
most sensational incident that has hap
pened at any court festivities in Denmark
since the memorable occasion when the
rVyal Dane was startled by the unex pected
denouemcnt of Prince Hamet's play o
The Mouse Trap"

An army officer says that small as
our army is, there is an excessive per,
centage OF desertion from it, although
the men are far better fed and paid
than any soldier in the world. The
reason Is that a great number OF men
enlist for the purpose of being sent
West, and then deserving. This class
is very large and exceeding hard to
deal with, as it is next to impossible
to apprehend them, owing to the gen.
eral feeling throughout the mountain
regions that they have escaped from a
kind OF slavery. Another class liable
to desert consists of young men OF
good family .who.have become.dissipa-
ted, and enlisted in moment Of de-
spair. But the strangest class is that
OF the chronic deserters.

Gigantic Railroad ABSORPTION.

The New York Tribune has a big sensa
ton in the shape Of an almost positiv
statement that the Baltimore q Ohio rail

a mysterious consolidation OF the Posta
Telegraph company and Commercial Tele

cious. In fact, it looks as though th

Mrs. Jennie Watson, who has been

on the corner Of Bullion street and
First avenue, at that hour was pro-
ceeding on her way to the residence
of A. J. Jackson, as she states,
when the report of a revolver was

shot, but thinks it was stay ball
that struck her. DR.. Brown exam

obtained a divorce. from her hus-

KETCHUM KEYSTONE.

On Sunday last team of horses
attached to vegetable wagon
owned by Chinese rancher neal
| Bellevue, ran away while in the
vicinity Of Holman's ranch just be-
low town. Lung Chucy was driv-
ing, Charlie Bo occupied q seat
with him, while a third Chinaman
was asleep in the wagon. The at
tempt to stop the fractions horses
proved unavailing and Lung Chuey
was thrown to the ground, Charley
Bo jumped from the wagon and the
remaining celestial was still fast
asleep. Chuey struck on his head
and never spoke after his fall. He
was conveyed to town and died on
Monday while Charley Bo, more
fortunate, nurses bruised lip and
sore back. The funeral of the
dead Chimaman took place on
Thursday under the auspices of the
Celestial Masonic fraternity and
was accompanied with the usual
heathenish demonstrations. The
friends of the dead man lay his
misfortune to the presence Of a
"Jew Devil" that they say frequents
that part of the road, which scar
ed the horses and started them to
run away. 1t was near the spot
where Aaron Morris was murdered
four years ago by foot pads, the re-
collection of which is still vivid in
the memory of the older residents
of Ketchum. The superstition of
the Chinese lead them to believe
that the ghost of the murdered
man still roams in that vicinity,

Call came down from Silver Noun
tain on Wednesday. Mr. Banfield
went into Silver Mountain with his
team, and five head of horses, in
September last-the first team that
got in. This was before the road
was graded, and he has been there
ever since working for the company
They report that the company have
run their tunnel into the mine, the
Julia, and struck it very rich. They
have struck the mine about three
hundred feet below the surface.
The tunnel is nearly five hundred
feet long. They have a shaft down
on the ledge on an incline of 112
feet. They win run the tunnel
about one hundred feet on the ledge
when they will come under the
shaft and then raise up to strike the
shaft. The tunnel strikes the ledge
thirty to forty feet wide. Six feet
wide is very high grade of silver
ore, worth about 500 to the ton;
the rest is good and will go from
$50 to $50 to the ton. About one
hundred and fifty men are at work,
some in saw mill which runs two
shifts, night and day. Another
gang of men are getting in logs,
another gang cutting wood, another
gang at work excayating for the
foundation of the mill, and another
gang of men are quarrying and
cutting rock for the stone work or
foundation Of the mill, another
gang are getting out timber for the
mill, and another gang are
building cabins and housing
the machinery that has been
hauled in, for the winter. The
work has been carried forward with
a good deal Of expedition, and they
IRE getting in good shape for work |
all winter. They will not be able |
to work as many men as the com
pany desire to, through the winter
or want of provisions. 1t is inn
